• Recommendation For A 5.7-8 Trailer Tire That Is Rated For Faster Than 65 MPH
  From my research and our available inventory, the maximum speed rating for a 5.70-8 trailer tire like Item # AM10013 is 65 mph. I do not know what your current tires are rated for but they might say somewhere on the sidewall. For example, an "L" rating has a maximum speed of 75 mph and an "M" rating has a maximum speed of 81 mph. Whatever the speed rating, do not exceed it because it will cause heat to build up in your tire which can cause it to fail. Radial tires are generally better...

The maximum speed rating on this tire is 65 mph. I don't know what your current tires are rated for but they might say somewhere on the tire's sidewall. You will want to stay within the speed rating.

• Can Trailer Tires be Downsized from 5.70-8 to 4.80-8 on a Fishing Boat Trailer
  Both the 4.80/4.00-8 Trailer Tire, like # AM10002 that you selected, and the 5.70-8 Trailer Tire, like # AM10010, are designed to fit on 8 x 3-3/4 inch rims, so the smaller tires will mount on your rims.

• Can I Upgrade from a 4.800/4.00-8 Tire to a 5.7/8-8 Tire on a Time Out Tent Trailer
  You can upgrade to a higher rated tire but the overall diameter will go up 2 inches and typically will end up also have a wider section width. If your trailer can accommodate the larger diameter and width then this is a possible solution for your trailer. Both the 4.80/4.00-8 and the 5.7/8-8 tires will fit a 3-3/4 inch rim width, so a tire like # AM10013 with a load range of D will have an overall diameter of 18 inches when fully inflated and have a section width of 5.8 inches.

• Is Larger 5.70-8 Trailer Tire a Better Option to Replace 4.80-8
  A larger trailer tire basically wins in every category like you mentioned. Less rolling resistance, less affected by bumps in road for smoother ride quality, and bearings/hub spins less so in theory less wear and tear. So as long as you have room for a larger size it's a great idea. The difference between the two size of 4.80 and 5.70 is two inches of overall diameter. This translates into one less inch of fender clearance since the diameter of a tire is split on either side of the spindle....

• Can 8" Trailer Wheels Be Upgraded to 10" Trailer Wheels and Fit Widthwise
  For your application you need to stick with your 8" wheels, otherwise you're looking at tires with a larger width and will likely rub against the trailer frame as you stated.

If you're needing to replace your 8" tire then I recommend checking out the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10013.

• Recommended 8" Tire With load Range D Rating For Wheels With 4.80-8 Tires Currently Installed
  I would be happy to help! Since you mentioned that your wheels have the 4.80-8 tires installed they are going to be too narrow to run the 205-60-8 tires you were looking at. Instead I recommend going with the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.70-8 - Load Range D # AM10013 which have a load rating of 1075lbs at 100 PSI so they are rated high enough for your Jet Ski Trailer, but you will need to verify the load rating of your wheels and use the lower rating between the wheels and tires....

• Can a 5.70-8 Tire Replace a 4.80-8 Size Trailer Tire
  Yes, a 5.70-8 tire will fit the same rim that a 4.80-8 tire fit. They both are designed to fit 8 inch diameter rims that are 3-3/4 inches wide. The larger tire will end up being 2 inches taller overall so you would end up with 1 inch less of fender clearance vertically. For a tire in this size that would work well you would want the part # AM10013. This is a Load Range D tire with a 1,075 lb capacity at 100 psi. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

• Benefits of Upgrading to Higher Load Range Tires on Trailer
  As you mentioned in your question, upgrading to higher load range tires on your trailer is not going to increase the weight capacity of the trailer itself. However, a higher-rated tire will have the benefit of running a bit cooler when compared to what you currently have mounted. Trailer tire failure is usually caused by excessive heat and the best way to prevent this is by observing the tires' rated weight capacity, speed rating and psi pressure. Using a tire that can handle more weight...

• Replacement 5.70-8 Tires for a Taylor Dunn B36 Electric Industrial Cart
  If you just wanted to get the tires and not replace the wheels you can use # AM10013. This is a 5.70-8 tire, load range D, with a capacity of 1,075 pounds at 100 psi. Four of these will have a capacity of 4,300 pounds so they can handle the 3500 pound total of the cart when fully loaded.

• Replacement Trailer Tires for a Boat Trailer with 4.80/4.00-8 Tires
  First, bigger tires require that you have enough clearance around the existing tires on the trailer for the larger size. You will need to determine how much space there is available before going to a larger tire. Also going to larger tires will not increase the capacity of the trailer. The tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour (unless otherwise stated on the tires). Trailer tire # AM10004 that you have referenced would be your best option if you stay with the same tire size....

• Rim Width Required for Installing a 5.70-8 Trailer Tire
  I wonder if you possibly aren't measuring from the correct location to determine the width of your trailer rims. If you are including the lips of the wheels you may actually have 3-3/4 inch wide rims and we would have a replacement that would work for you. Check out the picture I attached to see where you are supposed to measure. If you do have a 3-3/4 inch wide rim I would recommend the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10013.

• Are 4.80/4.00-8 and 5.70-8 Trailer Tires Compatible with the Same Wheel
  The distance between the bead seats is what determines the width of a wheel (see diagram).
